German carrier O2 Telefonica, owned by Spanish operator Telefonica, has achieved peak download speeds of more than 1.7 Gbps by bundling four frequency bands in 5G Standalone (5G SA) mode, the telco said in a release.
The carrier noted that the measurements were taken during a live test on the O2 network in Potsdam. The telco had been offering 5G SA to customers on the entire O2 Telefonica 5G network since October 2023.
'O2 Telefonica is actively driving the future of digital networking for consumers and for the economy. For the first time, we have bundled four frequencies in the standalone 5G network. The speeds achieved in the test illustrate the possibilities that 5G standalone offers in practice. They are a taste of further technological developments and the network expansion of the future,' said Matthias Sauder, director of networks at O2 Telefonica.
